Rooted in Faith.
Growing in Excellence.
At St. Francis Xavier School, we help your child become who God made them to be—through a faith-filled education, a nurturing community, and a commitment to academic success.
You want more than a school—you want a foundation for life.
As a parent, you’re looking for a place that reflects your values. A school that builds character, nurtures faith, and prepares your child for a bright future. You want teachers who care and a curriculum that challenges. You want to feel at home the moment you walk through the doors.
We get it as many of us are parents and our children attend our school. At St. Francis Xavier School, we walk this journey with you.
Lead. Learn. Live.
Catholic at the Core. Excellence in Every Classroom.
For 75 years, we’ve partnered with families to raise children who lead with faith and live with purpose. We blend rigorous academics with spiritual formation in a way that’s joyful, supportive, and deeply personal.

The Navigator Way is our compass.
It’s more than a motto—it’s how we live, learn, and grow together.
At St. Francis Xavier, students are taught to:
Respect God
Respect themselves
Respect others
These guiding principles shape confident, compassionate leaders.
Students who think deeply, act justly, and walk in faith every day.
Real stories. Real transformation.
I am a Christian. This specific identity of mine was not discovered in high school, as I was a Christian long before [that]. Instead, my desire to be a follower of Christ began at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School.

Everyone loves a little friendly competition, and St. Francis Xavier School is no exception! As of today, we are ranked #9, and we need to move into the ELITE 8 by Sunday to advance to the next bracket in the Angel March Madness competition.
Angel March Madness is a friendly competition among schools in the Diocese of Cleveland to raise awareness and support for the Angel Scholarship Fund, which provides tuition assistance for families at our Catholic school.
You can help simply by making an online donation to the Angel Scholarship Fund through the OHIO TAX CREDIT program and selecting St. Francis Xavier School as your school of choice. Every gift helps move us FORWARD!
Let's show the strength and generosity of the Navigator community and help our school advance to the next round and maybe even earn a school - wide ice cream party but most importantly help our families support Catholic education for our students! www.catholiccommunity.org/support/catholic-education/angel-scholarship-fund
Congratulations to the St. Francis Xavier Middle School Science Olympiad team on their 4th-place finish at the Northern Regional competition on Saturday, qualifying them for the State Tournament on April 18 at Ohio State University!
Our 15-student team competed in pairs across 23 lab, build, and knowledge events. Every student participated in 3–4 events, and each team member placed in the top five in at least one event—an incredible accomplishment.
WKYC was also filming at the event, and we are hoping to be featured in a story on Wednesday!
Mrs. Meyer's third grade class recently earned an ice cream party! 🍦
At St. Francis Xavier School, students thrive in a close-knit, Christ-centered community that feels like family.
With a strong focus on academic excellence, spiritual growth, and leadership, we provide an education rooted in Catholic values and committed to each child’s personal success.
From early phonics and cursive instruction to vibrant middle school retreats and hands-on service, our students are challenged to grow in both heart and mind.
Parents consistently praise our devoted teachers, welcoming environment, and the way we prepare children not just for the next grade—but for a life of purpose, faith, and integrity.
